AMD X670 chips are cheaper than an X570
An interesting piece of information from Moore’s Law is Dead in the next generation AMD motherboard series.
According to YouTuber, the cost of the chipset alone will not be the most important factor for the final price of the motherboard. While the new flagship X670 (E) series that includes an AMD AM5 socket will not have one, but two chipsets, its total cost will still be less than that of a single X570 chipset, says MLID.
This means that the B650 series, which basically uses a single X670 chipset, can easily cost less than the current generation B550 motherboard. And this despite being prepared for DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen5 storage.
PSA: I can now confirm that two Prom21 chipsets cost less than one X570 chipset. AM5 platforms were designed to be cost effective.
Now, there are components that can make the X670E more expensive than the X570, but there are few reasons why B650 boards with PCIe 4.0 cost more than B550 …

The same filter previously reported the expected retail prices of the AMD 600 Series motherboards. The price of the next generation AMD series will largely depend on whether the motherboard supports the PCIe Express 5.0 interface in graphics and simultaneous storage. . Extreme motherboards (X670E and the rumored X650E) can be priced at $ 500 and $ 350 respectively, which is an expected price for most high-end variants.

The AM5 platform will support up to 24 PCIe Gen5 lanes (plus an additional 4 as a bridge between chipsets and CPU). AMD promises native support for HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.0 standards, as well as USB 4, the latter also a major cost factor for the new series of motherboards.
The AMD Ryzen 7000 desktop series based on the Zen4 architecture is expected to be officially launched in the fall of this year. AMD 600 Series motherboards should be launched at the same time, if not earlier.
